ASSEMBLY
Spindle
The Model W1702 comes with 1⁄2", 3⁄4", and 1" shaper spindles. Also available is a Model D3392 Optional Router Bit Spindle. It is very important that any spindle you use, is seated securely into the shaper so that safety is maintained.
To install the shaper spindle or router bit spindle, do these steps every time in the order below:
NOTICE
Make sure you remove any rust inhibiting oil or contamination from the spindle, the drawbar, and the spindle cartridge mating surfaces before you install spindles.
1.UNPLUG THE SHAPER!
2.Thread one end of the drawbar into the bottom end of the desired spindle as shown in Figure 18, approximately
3.Insert the spindle/drawbar assembly into the spindle cartridge from the top side of the table. See Figure 19
4.Observe and make sure the spindle keyway on the spindle lines up with the guide pin on the spindle cartridge as shown in Figure 19.
5.Lower the spindle/drawbar assembly until the guide pin splines with the spindle keyway and the spindle/drawbar assembly fully seats into the tapered bore of the spindle cartridge. When correctly installed, you will feel the spindle/drawbar assembly seat snugly with the spindle cartridge.
Make certain the spindle keyway and pin are aligned and properly seated before tightening the drawbar nut. Improper assembly can create an unsafe condition and possibly injure the operator.
